Launcher

Quick Facts

  • Role: Explosive area damage

  • Best Range: Mid-range, against groups

  • Playstyle: High-risk, high-reward

Playstyle

Launchers aren't about precision — they're about denying space. A well-placed shot can wipe out multiple grouped enemies or force a squad out of cover entirely. The tradeoff is real risk: slow fire rate and blast radius mean a poorly timed shot (or one fired too close) can hurt you as much as your target.

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • ✅ Devastating against grouped enemies or fortified positions

  • ✅ Can force opponents out of cover or off a contested area

  • ❌ Slow firing style leaves you vulnerable between shots

  • ❌ Dangerous at close range due to blast radius

Best Paired With

Pair with a faster secondary — SMG or Assault Rifle — to cover the reload window. Check starter loadouts for a full setup.
